Engaging Students through a FASE Template
Time is of essence! Quercus is complicated, and teaching teams might not have enough time to create a source from scratch. This is why we've developed a FASE Quercus course template that can be imported and customized within your own Quercus course shell.

How to Import and Edit a Quercus Course Template
1. Find a course template
The most important step! We have three Quercus course templates for you to try:

This template was created by FASE and it is still in active development. It includes help guides to aid instructors throughout the template. You can select to include all elements or select specific elements to import.
